Crane Will Affect University Drive Lane and University Center Circle

Starting
Wednesday, Dec. 26, the closure of both lanes on the north side of University
Drive will be required to allow placement of a large crane in the University
Center circle.

The
crane will be used to begin removal of the super-structure of the atrium skylight
and erection of the new structure as part of the University Center
Transformation project.

During
this time, inbound traffic will be diverted to one lane on the south side of
the University Drive median and the entire area will be blocked off (as shown
in the stage 1 diagram). The street will
remain closed through Friday, Dec. 28.

Stage 1

Construction of the roof will begin
on Dec. 29 and is scheduled to end Jan. 6. During this second stage (as shown
on the stage 2 diagram), traffic patterns and most pedestrian traffic will
return to normal, but half of the UC Circle will remain closed where the crane
will be operating. Pedestrians will be able to pass in front of the circle or
across the street.

Stage 2
